The girls of K-ON! will be at university in weeks, but not all fans are happy – in fact, the creepiest amongst them seem to be in danger of creating some potentially entertaining drama.

The concern naturally stems from the outlandish notion that a moeblob can have a boyfriend, or that a woman can be appealing out of a school uniform:

“They are going to go nuts when the girls start going on group dates and even getting boyfriends…”

“Who cares about university students anyway – their uniforms must have been a big factor in their popularity.”

“They could have just wrapped it up at school and left things concluded nicely like that.”

“I don’t know what it’ll be like at university, but the K-ON! we know and love is finished.”

On the other hand, asking an actual female university student (K-ON! has a significant following amongst young women) yields quite a different response:

“I’m really excited about the continuation! It’s a given you’ll get a boyfriend, so it’s no surprise. I’m more interested in when they get to play the Budokan.”

2ch is of course generally considered to be closer to the former school of thought, but even so there is much recognition of the presumed inevitability of the girls developing normal human relationships rather than turning into bitter misanthropes or crazed girl-school lesbians:

“It’s be too unnatural for them to go to uni and not get boyfriends.”

“Otaku are so gross.”

“None of them are going to be virgins for much longer then!”

“I’m looking forward to seeing how they lose it.”

“They could have them all go to a women’s college…”

“Can’t they make this into a yuri manga?”

“Have it end with all of them having to marry after getting pregnant…”

“They could have done a middle school setting.”

“It would be really weird if they didn’t get into relationships…”

“You guys just go crazy every time a 2D girls gets into a relationship.”

“If they did not get boyfriends, it would prove that the moe-2D filter is the only reason they look so appealing, and in fact they are all ugly fatties after all.”

“It would be horrible if they all ended up spinsters. I hope a few get hitched with guys they love.”

“It is impossible for four female university students to all remain single.”

“If Mugi gets a boyfriend I will cry as I onanise over it…”

“With the loss of Azunyan they will need a new guitarist – perhaps it will be a new guy?”

“The important thing is how KyoAni adapts it – nobody reads the manga anyway.”

“I hope they all end up with boyfriends so we can watch the otaku go crazy – it’s the best form of entertainment.”

Oh god, please let it happen. Call it trolling if you want, but I'm fucking sick of these otaku thinking they can dictate what someone wants to do with their creative property just because they'll flip a shit over a female character acting like a normal person instead of some idealized untouchable doll. How they reacted to Kannagi and Idolmaster was completely inexcusable, they've basically turned Nanoha (and every other magical girl series) into a sad joke, and I'm sick of this de facto prison gay status of all these female characters just because they're afraid of making these NEETs freak out.

Unfortunately I can't count on KyoAni as it's well documented they play up lesbian innuendo as much as possible to make the neckbeards swoon and fork over the cash (see: Lucky Star).

@Mr.Demon and everyone else
I'm sure if the animaters have a history of yuri themes with four schoolgirl main characters and the otaku what it and assuming that the business is dictated by supply and demand............then yeah I'm sure we will get or yuri, it might be bland predictable and rehashed from other things that worked, but that's business.

I think it would be interesting to see. Shows like this are mostly coming of age stories about middle school or high school girls. This one in particular is about how music brought these girls together and created bond shared between them. I would be nice to see it transfer over to College and how that bond is kept.

Also moving to college is a life altering experience that seems to not be explored as much in the "Slice of Life" type anime. It's where people undergo the most change to their personality as they strive to identify who they are and mature from teenagers to mature adults.

Plus, if the show could benefit from anything it would be some more testosterone. I never understood if they attended an all girls school or if men just never existed in their society, with the exception of Ritsu's little brother and the guy at the guy at the music store.

Because the girls use virginity and chasteness to sell themselves. In Japan they won't tolerate hypocrites...if you play the virgin card to sell yourself then you may not flaunt boyfriends. That's the basis of the entire idol industry which is much bigger than just anime. The AKB48 girls know that they have the legal right to date who they like but they also know that doing so would cost them a shitload of money so they agree to the rules. No one is forced to play the game, you can always go work at Mos-Burger or be an OL. But if you want to be idolized by millions, you'd better follow the damned rules. They dont' have the rules to be mean to anyone, they're there because that is what makes the most money...the illusion between artist and fan that the artist is chaste and available. Note that mainstream actresses not in the idol industry date freely. The idol industry deals with only a specific group of fans, not all of them, but it is a very large group with a lot of money and loyalty so their needs are looked after.

just think what would happen, if this was turned into some kind of deconstruction like madoka.
the creators of this show have the unique opportunity for one of the best trollings ever.
maybe turn this into NTR or something.

contrary to popular belief, most women don't cum from dick. they cum more form foreplay if their partner has ANY skill at all. the amount of time for most women to reach orgasim through penetration depends on the males skill, how tight she is, and if she has a well endowed g spot, most men dont last that long.

in a lesbian relation ship you are rubbing the most sensitive parts of most womens sexual organs together till you cum, and also useing various toys that were made for the sole purpose of getting you off.

unless you are a woman, who has had a shitty partner (female) you cant say that at all.

Also the sense of closeness in the anime is normal for most girls who are not lesbians. Men do about the same thing but IN THEIR OWN WAY.

Also if you can really read what's going on granted that's most easiest thing since the show is pretty simple to miss anything. The times where there are lesbian-ish implications, it was just done for comedic purposes.

there is yui, who we have no fucking clue how she would respond to boyfriend, given that every girl she is around she touches... in a more intimate than friend, but not insinuating lover kind of way.

there is ritsu, who is boyish, and mio who is girlish.

if they go a relationship route, which i hope they dont for better or worse.

i can see a mugi and yui happening, and they go steady, coming out to ritsu and mio. ritsu, surprised, but excepts it because, seriously... mugi never hid her fantasies well, and yui... well... never hid her indiscriminate love well either.

mio, falls victim to shock. ritsu however, helps mio through her "brain cant take this shit anymore meltdown" and mio realizes her feelings for ritsu... ritsu, not knowing shit yet comes up with a joke to try to defuse the situation, and mio breaks down confessing, and ritsu, through a small flash back decides to just roll with it, and honestly why not.

mean while azunya and ui get close together, through mutual admiration for yui. the third wheel (dont know her name) makes a joke, because they seem so close, both get embarrassed, but ui, who is use to yuis shit, says that it may work, azunya at this point melts down a bit, but decides why not.

remember, high school in an all girls school, and at an all girls collage, this shit could happen. granted it may not be their forever partners, but you could see this happening. all 6 of them on budokan together, with ui filling some mysterious instrument that complements everything else.
